Your going to stick race rubber on them and you are concerned with their appearance? IMO that is wasted money. Looks awesome so far is there anything else left?

[HybridNz]

hehe, no point doing things half assed now.

Hmm yeah, would like to do something about the interior at some point .. Im considering flocking a dash and installing it. Would like to find a nice recaro seat. If I can find some, m3 CSL seats ... dunno will hunt.
Racechrono with touch screen on removible brackets that sits over the top of the stereo for track days. Will also log ODBII info
Some extra mechanical gauges oil pressure / temp water /temp. Im waiting for a word on a certain solution to come through ... however the on-board computer EEE PC looks like it could supply a lot of the logging I need .. will see.
hmmm While a friend of mine is running a full race car with s50b32 in an e30 and has the same sump setup as me I'm looking at running an Accusump and I might look at getting a custom winged / baffled sump made up for next oil change.
Sump crash plate

A second set of softer springs with keepers which might be better suited to NZ B-road driving.

Hmmm then after driving it around on the roads for a while I'll most likely look at turning it into a full blown race car. (Cage / stripped out, rebuilt rear towers and rear coil over setup blah etc etc)

Slicks are fun ...
Now to get use to their limits.

I <3 that shifter.

[e30guydownunder]

far out that sounds great! And Hampton looks like a nice fun track!

As a completly unrelated comment. I am about half way through my turbo M42 which will includes a Winged, baffled sump and an Accusump :)

Hamptons a great track, though half finished.
Maybe if people get a brain we might get some V8 supercars down there instead of that weak Hamilton shite.

No chance. Tony Cockhead took the NSW event away from a fairly decent quality track in Eastern Creek, spends a couple of million / year to do a street race around Homebush instead (which by the way is absolute bullshit, as you can't see any action unless you pay uber dollars for one of the VIP grandstands). If he used that money and spent it on Eastern Creek ONCE we would have an international standard facility the everyone could use.

Very cool build, and nice to see you are enjoying her on the track as well :)

hehe .. good thing is Brendon has taken the Telemetry / GPS data and started to build a virtual track for GTR2 ..

The difference between his track and some randoms from over seas is brendon's one actually 'feels' right. including the bawls to the wall drop away, turn one.

Going to be hitting Taupo some time soon .. We have another day planned for Feb 19th .. I will just be back from honey moon :D

God fuckin' damn it, I need a car for the track.
